  1. Hi Sayeri,

    Prosenjit is a wonderful actor. Probably the best in bengali cinema at the moment. I have seen Chokher Bali. He is amazing in it. He gets into the skin of his character and does full justice to the role.

    Thanks for sharing, have a great day. 🙂

  2. He’s such a veteran and a legend. Have seen Chokher Bali. Great actor. Will check more out. I’m a film buff

  3. Can you believe it? I have not seen any. But after going to through your post and reading the comments, I’m clearly missing out on some fantastic cinema. Definitely streaming a couple of these during the weekend.

  8. Bengali movies are always high on content and emotional layers of human life. I liked the collection here and the storyline. Will check them out if they have English subtitles.

  9. One great part of Bengali movies that I like is Satyajit Ray’s masterpieces. Bengali writers & cinematographers have always got it right. And these films from Prosenjit too speak a lot about the richness of the content.

  10. I have seen the movie Choker Bali (in translation) and totally loved it. Bengali movies are always strong on story line.

  11. Out of all these movies, I have seen only Chokher Bali and I love that movie. I guess I will look for the other ones as well & watch coz I am sure I will love them too!
